TDR has a fast track way to keep competitive

It is the outsourced engineering service company that has the responsibility to repair or re-engineer the EOL products. The issue that can sometimes arise is the original schematics and product support documentation can easily be lost over time, and it is necessary to re-create the documentation.

Reverse Engineering involves examining a product to see how it operates, then taking it apart to determine what components are used to make it work and how they are interconnected.
Tuomo Rekila, CEO of TDR (TeleDesign & Repair) comments: “The purpose of reverse engineering is to reduce customers’ design decisions from EOL products, with little or no additional knowledge about the procedures involved in its original production.”

TDR’s system is agile, fast and flexible in producing accurate as possible deliverables using just a small degree of engineering resources. The time scale for this system is normally 8-10 working days which no other company can deliver, making TDR very price competitive in the present market.”

The schedule can be influenced by the level of support available such as functional specifications, test and measurement equipment, existing repair processes and related documentation. Reverse Engineering produces high quality deliverables using all of TDR’s resources including engineering sourcing and operations as well as external resources where necessary.

The results of the Fast Track Reverse Engineering projects create repair work instructions repair process, tester environments (bench level, module level and final testers) as well as educating TDR operations on how to repair products.
